Abstract

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may identify a collision between a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission, wherein the first uplink transmission is a high priority uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission is a low priority uplink transmission; and cancel the second uplink transmission during a defined time period, wherein the defined time period has an end point based at least in part on a processing time and an offset, and a start point based at least in part on a triggering event for the first uplink transmission or a UE capability. Numerous other aspects are provided.

Claims (68)

1. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

identifying a collision between a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission, wherein the first uplink transmission is a high priority uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission is a low priority uplink transmission; and

cancelling the second uplink transmission during a defined time period,

wherein the defined time period has an end point before a first overlapping symbol of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission, wherein the first overlapping symbol is based at least in part on a processing time and an offset, and wherein the defined time period has a start point based at least in part on a UE capability, and

wherein at least one of:

a first quantity of symbols, defining the defined time period based at least in part on the UE capability, and a second quantity of symbols, defining the defined time period based at least in part on the processing time, have a common subcarrier spacing, or

a third quantity of symbols defining the defined time period has a subcarrier spacing based at least in part on at least one of:

a minimum subcarrier spacing of a first set of downlink carriers configured for the UE or a first set of uplink carriers configured for the UE,

a minimum subcarrier spacing of a second set of uplink carriers on which the second uplink transmission is to be carried and a second set of downlink carriers on which a grant for the first uplink transmission is received, or

a subcarrier spacing of the set of uplink carriers associated with carrying at least one of the first uplink transmission or the second uplink transmission.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the collision comprises:

identifying the collision based at least in part on receipt of an uplink cancellation indicator.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the defined time period is before a first overlapping symbol of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the end point is a threshold amount of time after a triggering event for the first uplink transmission, wherein the threshold amount of time is based at least in part on the processing time and the offset.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the triggering event is an end of a control resource set in which the UE receives a grant for the first uplink transmission, and wherein the start point is at or after the end of the control resource set.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the start point is a threshold amount of time before the end point, wherein the threshold amount of time is a fixed value or based at least in part on the UE capability.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the start point or the end point is determined based at least in part on a first overlapping symbol of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the high priority uplink transmission is associated with a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) and the low priority uplink transmission is associated with a low priority physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH).

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a grant for the first uplink transmission,

wherein identifying the collision is based at least in part on receiving the grant.

10. A method of wireless communication performed by a user equipment (UE), comprising:

identifying a collision between a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission, wherein the first uplink transmission is a high priority uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission is a low priority uplink transmission; and

cancelling the second uplink transmission during a transient duration associated with a power transition period associated with canceling the second uplink transmission,

wherein the transient duration is a threshold amount of time occurring in proximity to a transmission cancellation end point.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the transmission cancellation end point is defined based at least in part on a fixed value or a processing time.

12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the transient duration occurs immediately before the transmission cancellation end point.

13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the transient duration occurs at least partially before and at least partially after the transmission cancellation end point.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein a time position of the transient duration relative to the transmission cancellation end point is based at least in part on a time position of the first uplink transmission relative to the transmission cancellation end point.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving a grant for the first uplink transmission,

wherein identifying the collision is based at least in part on receiving the grant.

16. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

a memory; and

one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:

identify a collision between a first uplink transmission and a second uplink transmission, wherein the first uplink transmission is a high priority uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission is a low priority uplink transmission; and

cancel the second uplink transmission during a defined time period,

wherein the defined time period has an end point before a first overlapping symbol of the first uplink transmission and the second uplink transmission, wherein the first overlapping symbol is based at least in part on a processing time and an offset, and wherein the defined time period has a start point based at least in part on a UE capability, and

wherein at least one of:

a first quantity of symbols, defining the defined time period based at least in part on the UE capability, and a second quantity of symbols, defining the defined time period based at least in part on the processing time, have a common subcarrier spacing, or

a minimum subcarrier spacing of a first set of downlink carriers configured for the UE or a first set of uplink carriers configured for the UE,

a minimum subcarrier spacing of a second set of uplink carriers on which the second uplink transmission is to be carried and a second set of downlink carriers on which a grant for the first uplink transmission is received, or
